How to connect two objects using Connectors on Vani?

Connector

A Connector helps map objects on the Space. You can connect different objects such as shapes, text boxes, images/GIFs, and Sticky Notes, with one another. Once connected, the objects will stay attached, even if you change the position or size of the objects.
